MaximumRD Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Happy retirement Cassandra Peterson / aka Elvira! It's been fun! http://gazette.com/retirement-crooks-a-finger-at-colorado-springs-raised-queen-of-halloween/article/1614202Guessing she'd rather retire while still in good form and remembered fondly. Been a hell of a great run!

Atari 5200 Guy Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Holy crap! That's how she normally looks??? I would have never thought of her being Elvira out of costume. She's a beautiful person either way. Thanks for all of the scares and heartthrobs, Elvira, it's been a fun ride.

Justin Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Aw I'll miss Elvira! Elvira is awesome. At least we still have Svengoolie on MeTV. Now it's time to play some Pinball Jam! RickR and MaximumRD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosweargamer Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 I found it very ironic how all this worked out. Rick traded me Pinball Jam, which I planned to review during October and show a picture of Cassandra in (I figured some viewers may never have seen her just as herself), and then MaxRD shared this thread as I was making my review which allowed me to mention her retirement (Thanks RD!) and the review just happened to land on the 31st (It was going to be sooner, but got delayed). What a crazy place this IO is!

DegasElite Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Holy crap! That's how she normally looks??? I would have never thought of her being Elvira out of costume. She's a beautiful person either way. Thanks for all of the scares and heartthrobs, Elvira, it's been a fun ride. Yup. That's her. She is a pretty woman, and in her sixties if I might add. I know she has a daughter, too. I read up on it in Wikipedia. Way to go, Cass! I like Elvira in "Pinball Jam," for the Lynx. Fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossBow Posted November 8, 2017 Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 Good thing I went ahead and stood in line at this year's Pinfest in Texas then?! had her sign my Lynx Pinball Jam cart and manual as well. She signed one of them as Cassandra, and the other as Elvira. Awesome!

MaximumRD Posted October 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Heh, well a long overdue update but in case anyone has not noticed but obviously I, as apparently many I know, took this "retirement" out of context. To be clear, she retired the ELVIRA character ONLY from headlining at Knox Berry Farms where she headlines a live show for many years. She did this to free up time and pursue other projects like her autobiography and an animated project which I am guessing was her characters appearance on a recent Scooby Doo Halloween special. So,now at 69 she is STILL rocking and to celebrate and be thankful here is a recent video she released - I've never been happier to be wrong 😛 TrekMD, socrates63 and RickR 3 Quote I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.

DegasElite Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 I always liked Cassandra Peterson. She is a good person. Elvira was always funny. I liked the character that she played. Awesome. :O) MaximumRD and socrates63 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossBow Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 That was awesome! Thank you much for sharing that. I've not laughed in sometime it seems and this was much needed. Appreciate it!
